get an IP address from a DHCP server in your network:
a.
Connect the Dell PowerConnect W-Series IAP to an intermediate gateway
router or switch that has connectivity to the DHCP server.
b.
Power on the IAP. The IAP receives an IP address provided by the switch or
router. Power the IAP either by plugging to an Ethernet cable coming from
a 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch or device, or by connecting it to
an AC adapter.
2.
Connect to the provisioning Wi-Fi network
—The IAP advertises a
provisioning network called
instant
. Connect a wireless enabled client to the
provisioning Wi-Fi network.

After the IAP starts up, it will try to get an IP address from the DHCP server
if static IP configuration is not available. If DHCP times out, a default IP within
